Wait, BlueSky doesn’t tell you when you get these tags/labels on your posts?

Main reason I blocked celebrity blogs like The Shade Room, they push narratives that make Black women seem undesirable or pit Black men and women against each other. And the comment section is a vile cesspool of adults with childish mindsets.

Most Black athletes are with Black women, but the media won’t show that. Instead, they overplay the few interracial couples to push a message. I’m not against interracial love, I am against how it’s being weaponized to pit us against each other.

History warned us about tyrants. Nobody warned us they’d be this dumb.

I don’t know I feel like this is targeted at Black people and I honestly hate when they pander by using weed, in their mind drugs. It seems rather dehumanizing. Like they tryna get a dog with a biscuit.

I also said there shouldn’t be homelessness in America when there’s more development apartment and houses owned by big corps on the market.

I got yelled at by a man who makes $25 and hour living as a roommate at 35 years old who’s mad he can’t own a home. 🤷‍♀️

I listen to serial killer podcast because my career goal is to be an expert witness as a forensic psycho-analyst.

That said.. lonely white men can’t even find friendships in similar situated lonely white men men because they may become violent or a duo of killers. On their own, just as deadly.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Policing Black people by using MLK when their people killed him. On top of that, they have a history of this type of violence in this country but try to spin that narrative on Black people. They can’t control their men and boys who unalive double digits in one day cause they’re having a bad day.

And how crack was always the but of the joke but drug (opioid) addiction is serious and shouldn’t be made light of

Jenn Q. @jennqueen.bsky.social · 2d

It’s wild how words change depending on who’s affected.

When drugs hit Black communities, it was a “crack epidemic.”

When drugs hit white communities, it became a “health crisis.”

That’s what we call a dog whistle. The language changes when the skin color does.

Reminds me of a quote that has lived rent-free in my head for 8+ years & counting:

"We lost an entire generation of people [of color] due to deaths and incarceration. I guess the 'crackheads' didn't need help, but these hipster junkies deserve our sympathy."

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.
